Background:
This study provides a comprehensive overview of the research progress on construction safety resilience and sets up a three-subdimension concept framework (structural resilience, psychological resilience, and managerial resilience) with the theory of engineering resilience.
Methods:
With a three-step review method based on document metrics analysis and scientific measurements, this study screened 1,018 related articles published on the Web of Science, and 168 articles were finally selected as research samples. The VOSviewer software was used to analyze the number of publications, the journals, and the keyword co-occurrence. The software-generated visual graphics and tables were described and summarized.
Results:
The results show that the existing research on construction safety resilience mainly focuses on three streams: structural resilience, psychological resilience, and managerial resilience. Previous studies on structural resilience mostly focus on the physical aspect of a construction project, while the research on psychological and managerial resilience mainly relates with the personal and managerial aspects of a construction project, respectively. The differences, influencing factors, and measuring methods for these three research streams on construction safety resilience were also explored. Future studies could distinguish them more clearly with their definitions, measurements, and relationships.
Conclusion:
This study helps to clarify the framework of construction safety resilience and provides a theoretical basis for the evaluation and development of resilient construction safety management, which may be beneficial for future studies on construction safety resilience.

Accuracy, limits, and approximation
Accuracy is defined as the closeness of the measured value to the true or actual value. In engineering mechanics, repeated measurements are taken during theoretical or experimental analyses to ensure that the result is precise and accurate.
